If Bush tried to do this in America the left would scream about “King George” and impending tyranny. But Hugo Chavez? Most of them will probably applaud him for being a man of the people. Because he supports socialized medicine or something....CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called for an end to presidential term limits on Wednesday to extend his rule and consolidate a self-styled socialist revolution in the OPEC nation.What’s frustrating is that people keep talking about Chavez as though he were a popularly-elected leader: Chavez’s left-wing policies have sparked the ire of critics and U.S. officials who brand him an authoritarian menace and accuse him of using Venezuela’s oil wealth to undermine democracy, but his majority poor supporters have handed him repeated electoral victories.Is Chavez really winning victories? Or has he leveraged his control of the military to scare the nation into supporting him?Simply letting people go to the ballot box is not necessarily democracy.Things like free speech and political dissent must exist as well, and as I’ve pointed out before the wrong kind of political dissent in Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela can catch you a beating.
Or worse.
That doesn’t sound like a leader who is in power through widespread popular support.That sounds like a thuggish goon who seized power by force and holds it by pretending to be a populist leader crusading to help the poor.

PS:CHAVEZ surely is a "thiggish goon who seized power by force and holds it by pretending to be a populist leader crusading to help the poor"...This is the best deficition of Chavez that I've ever heard of...He is a BULLY and a communist.
As in the days of Noah...
